Rejuvenation

Dermal Filler

Dermal fillers help to diminish facial lines and restore volume and fullness to the face. As we age, our faces naturally lose subcutaneous fat which makes the facial muscles to work closer to the skin surface; thus smile lines and crow's feet become more apparent. The facial skin also stretches a bit, adding to the loss of facial volume. Other factors that affect the facial skin include sun exposure, heredity, and lifestyle. What dermal fillers can do is plump thin lips, enhance shallow contours, soften facial creases and wrinkles, and improve the appearance of recessed scars. Dermal fillers can be very helpful in those with early signs of ageing, or as a value-added part of facial rejuvenation surgery. The treatment takes less than 45 minutes to complete, you'll see the results immediately, and you can get back with doing the things you enjoy right away.

Frequently Asked Questions

There is a big difference between dermal fillers and anti wrinkle injections. While both are injected into the skin by a medical professional, the similarities stop there. Dermal fillers provide volume while anti wrinkle injections freeze the muscle in order to provide a smoother appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Depending upon what you want to improve on your appearance, you may need one or the other â€“ or a combination of both. Anti wrinkle injections are not capable of sculpting the face or adding any kind of volume. However, they can be one of the best ways to smooth out lines and wrinkles and reduce the overall appearance of the wrinkles

The results are going to vary by person and will have to do with the depth of the lines and wrinkles. Many people can see results instantly by smoothing out a lot of the deep lines and reducing the appearance of many wrinkles. Before and after photos at Advanced Dermatology clinic can give you a better idea as to what to expect.

Anti wrinkle injections can be given in a variety of locations on the face. This includes along the frown lines of the forehead, the corners of the mouth, along the side of the nose, around the chin, near the jawline, and in other areas. There are as many as 11 lines just between the eyebrows, so there are plenty of options to improve appearance and some doctors will even go along the side of the face as well as into the neck with the injections.

The injections can vary from person to person. Many of the anti wrinkle injections can last for approximately four months, though it depends on the brand as well as where they are being placed. Some people have been able to go for as long as 12 months with a single round of injections. Once you have had multiple injections, the time in between treatments can be extended.

The injections involve a needle and so there will be some pain. Most patients describe it as a pinch as the needle goes into the muscle. There is a local anesthesia applied to the area to numb the skin prior to the injection. Some of the products also have lidocaine inside, which can help reduce the amount of pain

Not everyone is a candidate for injections. People with certain skin conditions are advised not to go through with the injections and in some instances, people are allergic to some of the compounds that are being injected into the muscle. All of this will be discussed during the initial consultation to determine if you are a candidate or not. It is also important to know what anti wrinkle injections can do. Some people are better off with dermal fillers or even chemical peels based upon the results they are trying to achieve.

The number of injections required to provide you with the desired look will vary based upon the number of wrinkles that you have and what areas of the face need to be treated. During the initial consultation, our doctor will discuss the number of injections that are required. Some people only need two or three at a time while others need considerably more. Reviewing before and after photos of different people can give you an idea as to what you could look like with a certain number of injections.

Many people experience absolutely no side effects. Others experience some swelling and discomfort from the injections, though they usually subside within the first few days. In more rare situations, there can be bleeding and bruising from the injection site. It is always a good idea to consult with a doctor prior to scheduling injections to discuss concerns as well as how various medical conditions and prescriptions can affect the overall effects that are experienced.

The cost for the injections can vary. Some of the factors include the brand of the injections, the number of injections that you get, as well as where you go to have them done. Advanced Dermatology provides some of the most affordable "doctor provided" rates available.

It is important to find a doctor that is licensed in Australia and has experience with anti wrinkle injections. You will want to schedule a consultation to learn about the various types of injections that are available, have recommendations made on the number of injections and where in the face they will be injected, and also learn of the cost. If you are not comfortable with the doctor, you will want to find a different one.
